Correlation of NCAA to NBA Statistics

Correlation of NCAA draft prospects to their NBA career on various statistics for all opponents and Top 100 opponents.

---

• The scoring stats and efficiency (3P%, Pts/40, and TS%) are the stats that are least correlated.

• The traditional centre stats (blk%, oreb%, dreb%) are highly correlated.

• The dunk rate is highly correlated as a stat of overall athleticism.

• Using Top100 opponents instead of All opponents didn’t lead to greater correlation for the majority of the stats.
